im trying to get a guest book to work on my web site it uses php and MySQL and phpadmin

in the attachment is the file to install and i still dont under stand how-to setup a table..

Yeah im still a newbie to PHP and all it partners..

i use PHPdev its a bundle that has all sorts of thing in it
www.firepages.com.au/dev4.htm

and soon to be http://www.phpdev.com O yeah its FREE

thx 4 the help:confused:

ewww... that config file is super messy. lets try to clean it up a bit:

(20/01/2001): First public release. Installation: -------------
-) unzip the distribution file into your http documents directory.
-) create the mysql database (usually phpBook) with mysqladmin. mysqladmin -u<your_mysql_user> -p<your_mysql_pass> create phpBook
-) edit config.php
to your need's DB-TABLES-INSTALLATION auto:
-) run install.php DB-TABLES-INSTALLATION manual:
-) create the mysql tables. you have 2 options :

1) mysql -u<your_mysql_user> -p<your_mysql_pass> phpBook<phpBook.sql
2) use phpMyAdmin to run the SQL file 'phpBook.sql'

-) rename or delete install.php for security-reasons
-) CHECK php.ini for this settings register_globals = On magic_quotes_gpc = On
-) all should be ok at this point.

Administration: --------------- Enter the link with correct admin-variable in place. e.g.: http://www.domain.com/book/guestbook.php?admin=changeme (where "changeme" MUST BE the password spec. in config.php as $adminpass)


*whew* okay....

Now some questions:

Do you have a database already installed?
a table installed in the database?
a Database Username?
a Database Password?
(don't post the last two here. ;))

Just need to know where you are exactly....

I use PHPdev

i have table installed i have no clue where to go At least i think so after all that reading it was a little messy for me...
